Yeah, KD is thin but strong. BI is a skeleton that a high schooler could probably push off the block. |
that would be KD that compared him to KD |
Link? |
Pretty sure KD meant in terms of body type. |
"First person I can say, that I can look at him and feel like I’m looking in the mirror," Durant said Tuesday when asked about Ingram after Team USA practice.

Without him this team would be in Suns territory of ineptness. |

I don't think you understand how he plays and maybe you should avoid commenting on his game until you do...? |
Like he's scared? please enlighten me. U seem to be hanging on my every comment, Lavar. _________________ "Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same." |

Lebron saves the day again.
Tbh I do not know how longer Luke will last with what's going on in the half court offense. If it doesn't improve when Rondo is back, he could be let go.
The half court offense is not up to NBA standards. LeBron is basically saving Luke right now, kind of ironic when you consider the leaks and rumors. |

As I've said before, without a halfcourt offense, you'll get killed in the playoffs.
During the regular season, not a lot of preparation goes into each team you play, that changes when you're in a 7 game series. Teams will exploit your weakness. Just like Toronto did to the Lakers earlier this year. |

KD is a hell of a player, not much of a talent evaluator |

Just being nice.
Both guys were 19 as rookies, both have birthdays in September. So the timeline is exactly the same. Lets look at KD's first 3 yrs: 20, 25, 30 pts. LOL! http://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/3202/kevin-durant
KD not doing Brandon any favors with these lies. |

Thats the problem in a nutshell, for some reason Brandon has been proclaimed as the next KD because of his length, because other than that, there is literally nothing KD like about Ingram. |

yeah, and did kob just get "platelet procedure" in germany? |
Also the juice 😂 |
And Jordan's secret suspension. To be honest with the drug testing as lax as it is, most of the NBA is probably on the juice. But I don't care, because I've seen what's happened to cycling ever since they cleaned it up and it is 100% dull. Boring. Borderline dead. And if everyone's on the juice it's practically level. |

Not a great game, but I did think that Bron, KCP and Hart played well.
Lonzo was an absolute beast on defense and on the offensive boards but his offense was bad....that missed layup/pass thing he did was lame. I thought that Mcgee was also awesome on D, but offensively he was a mess.
BI and Kuz aren’t helping. Kuz has to hit his open 3’s, what is he like 28% from 3 this season? BI shouldn’t be our 3rd PG and Luke needs to actually have an offense so that The #1 option in the have court can be something besides a BI mid range jumper.
So, another victory...which is nice...but I don’t like our offense and I don’t like the starting lineup. I’d love to see what a 3 guard lineup of Zo/Hart/KCP/Lebron/McGee would look like. Our guards are so tall I think that we wouldn’t have a problem matching up at SF defensively. |

McGee was a -8 and Chandler a +18. It's good when one of them has a bad game the other can cover. |

Despite the cheapie misses by Chandler I thought tonight was 1 of his best games as a Laker he changed a lot of shots and played solid D. |

The offense is sucking, admittedly, but shout out to the Lakers defense this month outside of the 2nd half against Denver. _________________ Under New Management |

Yeah, the “hot potato” from Zo is a feature, not a bug. Making quick decisions and moving the ball to the open man instead of ball pounding like too many of our other guys is a good thing nHe just has to find a bit of balance and mix in some aggression with that every so often to keep the D honest and take advantage of the opportunities his wonderful activity gets us. |

When we uptempo the game our offense looks great and it carries over to the halfcourt. But in the 2nd half and especially the fourth quarter we start walking the ball upcourt and that's why we blow these leads. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers |

Tonight we starting giving it up late in the 2nd quarter, but we didn't actually give up the lead until the 3rd quarter. That was when we stopped pushing the ball and started walking it upcourt. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers |

We lost 18 points of that lead in the 2nd quarter, and maybe a further 9 points in the third before Josh Hart and Lebron started wresting back the momentum. |
